The iHeartRadio Music Festival was a blast, and Hyundai's EV lineup was there for every moment. In Vegas, Hyundai took VIPs to the Speedway to test drive the 601-horsepower Ioniq 5N. On Friday, the EV Sessions winner was announced, Hyundai's music contest on TikTok. The twist? Their performances were all powered by the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5. How cool is that? And after the show, fans got to check out the Hyundai dance floor at House of Music.

Fierce debate has overtaken the country as to whether America's work ethic is dying. And having these setbacks where I can't even run a mile, but I'm thinking about running 135. I can't run one mile. And what if I can win it? Wake up! Stop sleeping on yourself! The biggest problem that you have had

It's not that you don't have resources. It's not that you don't have supporters. It's not that somebody doesn't believe in you. It's that you have not believed in you. Stop sleeping on yourself. Step into your authenticity. Step into your intelligence and your brilliance. Release your gift. God has given you something great. Release it. It's a mental standard you must meet in life. Motivation has an expiration date.

And when motivation dies, discipline must take its place. Pick something rather than nothing or pick something rather than all things and then set yourself to master that. You need to have a primary discipline. It's absolutely necessary to succeed in life. Now, once you have a primary discipline, then you can branch out and become a multiplicity in your disciplined approach. And then you're absolutely bloody unstoppable. But you really need that initial disciplinary routine.

It's that having a discipline every day to say for me to learn this one math problem, it's gonna take me 10 hours. How bad do you want to get to that next level? What are you willing to do? What are you willing to sacrifice? What are you willing to give up? Who are you willing to let go to get where it is that you want to be? There is a bridge from what you see in your head to what you hold in your hand. And that bridge is called discipline.

What people understand is that they live for themselves, not knowing that you have the power within yourself to change millions of lives by facing life, by facing yourself. Nobody wants to put in the work. Nobody wants to let go of every single distraction. Here is my question. Can you learn how to say no to what's hurting you? No to what's stopping you. No to what's hindering you. No to the people that don't believe in you.

I now know that there is no cap on the human mind. There's no cap. We cap it ourselves. Life is one big mind game and you play it with yourself. You are the issue. It's you. Your issue is you. Nobody has lied to you more than you. My biggest fear in life is if there is a final resting place in this world and there's a final judgment and you talk to something much bigger than you.

I don't want to sit down and have a conversation with someone with something that says, "You're in heaven. This is what you should have been on earth." And are you really in heaven now or are you in hell? It also makes you disciplined and once you're disciplined, you're like a sharpened sword, man, like a well-tempered blade and then you can go out there and operate in the world. So, and if you haven't found your passion, then I would say, "Well, don't wait around until you find the damn thing because you may never find it."

is pick something and focus on it, you know, and if you move strongly and forthrightly towards it for a number of months at least or even a number of years and then you find, well, that wasn't the thing for you, it isn't going to be a waste anyways because most of the time the pursuit of any discipline knowledge pays off even if it doesn't pay off in the way that you initially expect. Mental toughness isn't something that you sample. It's something that you live in every day.

So when something hard would happen to these kids like in Hell Week, it would draw on something that made them very insecure and they look for comfort. Whenever hardness comes, and you don't know what it is, it may be different for you than it is for me, but you go back to your insecurities. And then when you go back to your insecurities, you then look for comfort within those insecurities. And we all look for that cookie that your mom used to give you when you were sad, when you were sick.

We look for our wife or our husband. We look for comfort. It's in those moments. You must retrain your mind to think differently in hell. Discipline is found in our daily routine, our daily rituals. You may use discipline on occasion, but you're not disciplined. And there's a difference between having discipline and being disciplined. When you have discipline, you're selective.

When you have discipline, you're conditional. It depends on how you feel. When you are disciplined, how you do anything is how you do everything. And everything you do, you show up at a thousand percent. Everything you do, you execute with a spirit of excellence. That's what discipline looks like. I used to speak in hollow words. I don't do it anymore. Everything that comes out of my mouth has substance. It's real. And we all have these feelings in our bodies, in our minds, in our souls. I act on mine.

A lot of us who are afraid of something, we allow our minds to choose the path of least resistance so we go a different route. I'm afraid of something that's telling me you must conquer that. You must do that. You have to go that way. And most of us don't understand that mentality. We go left and we wonder why we haven't fulfilled something in our lives.

People tell me all the time, it's hard to get wealthy. It's hard to grind. It's hard to be focused. It's hard to stay motivated. It's hard to stay broke. It's hard to stay depressed. It's hard to stay governed by anxiety. It's hard to be inconsistent. It's hard not to have daily disciplines. It's hard not to believe in yourself. It's hard to be broke. It's hard to be poor. It's hard. It's all hard. So choose your heart. You're going to sit there and let life knock you down and dare you to get back up.

And no one saved me. It wasn't like someone came down here and guided me through life. When you figure this out on your own, the amount of pride and dignity and self-respect you have. That's why I walk around the streets with a backpack and just like, I don't need anything else. You figure it out by going inside yourself, by callousing over the victim's mentality. You're always a victim, even if you have everything in life.

until you realize what you've achieved. One thing I got to tell all of you listening is you got to kill the blame game. Stop blaming it on the person that walked out on you. Stop blaming it on the person that overlooked you. Stop blaming it on the person that undervalued you. Stop blaming it on the person that did not promote you, that did not see it, that did not believe it. Stop blaming everybody and look yourself in the mirror. And the thing you got to ask yourself is, am I going to read or

a new trail we live in a box and we don't want to go outside that box at all ever outside that box is all these possibilities of life but we do we shackle our mind we are a prisoner in our own mind that this is all I can do it's all I'm good at and we we take away the possibilities you could be this you could be that you can be all these things and I never thought at 300 pounds I could be negative wow so if my mind was shackled me and you would never meet

There'd be no book. There'd be no book. There'd be nothing. If I were to give you one last piece of advice in order to understand discipline, discipline is revealed in our daily routines and rituals.

Discipline unfolds. If you want your future, you have to cross the bridge of discipline. If you want to get out of the room of ordinary, you have to go through the door of discipline. If you want to dig yourself out of murky, muddy water, if you want to claw your way to the top, you are going to have to climb the wall of discipline. There is no other way.

I need you to tell yourself right now, there is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way. The future belongs to the discipline. Hey, corporate types, Billy Idol here.
